I Don't Want My MTV

Whenever I turn on the TV, I can't help but shake my head in shame at the sorry state of television these days. Where have the quality, original shows gone? TV has gotten worse than ever and I blame MTV. Has anyone watched MTV lately? I mean, really watched it? How they glorify materialistic, self-centered, egomaniacial assholes on "Super Sweet 16" or how they keep squeezing every last drop of life out of the "Laguna Beach" model. The Hills? Do people actually watch these pieces of shit?

I'm also fairly sure that Bam Margera has sold his soul to the MTV devil...because how else would this talentless, mediocre skater STILL have a show on the air? Yeah, the whole "Jackass/CKY skate vid" concept show was funny when they did them back in the 90's but really...do people still like Bam or look up to him or think he's "cool"? Don't tell me everyone hasn't figured out yet that "Viva La Bam" wasn't a "real" show in terms that all that crap wasn't scripted before hand like any other "reality" show these day because if we are that far gone as a society that we still care about the zany antics of Bam and his buddies that he pays to do what he says, then there really is no hope for mankind. Honestly, Bam makes me sad to even have grown up in the same area of Pennsylvania as him.

I'm fairly certain this is all part of some MTV experiment to see just how stupid they've made people. When they've dumbed down our culture to the point that people care about what happens to LC on "The Hills" or that Bam has a new girlfriend that he's marrying on his new show "Bam's Unholy Union" (Newlyweds rip-off, anyone?), MTV knows that people are just about stupid enough to watch anything.
